Gotta love Chicago politics!

This made me laugh. From this article:

Rob Halpin, a businessman who is significantly less known to the public, also filed petitions [for mayor]. Mr. Halpin has drawn attention for his address more than anything else. He rented the North Side home owned by Mr. Emanuel, and declined to give it up when Mr. Emanuel decided this fall to leave Washington and return to Chicago to run for mayor.

Mr. Halpin says that his mayoral bid has nothing at all to do with his housing situation, Mr. Emanuel or Mr. Emanuel’s wish to be mayor. Still, Mr. Halpin’s entry into the race underscores the legal challenge that is expected to be filed on Wednesday against Mr. Emanuel’s candidacy.

I can just see it now:
Emanuel: Get outta my house!
Halpin: Make me!
